"Day of the Triffids", re-done 2003 style

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2003)

Am I the only person so far who has recognized all the parallels between this film and the 1962 (I think) schlock sci-fi film "The Day of the Triffids"? As soon as the hero woke up confused in an abandoned London hospital (in the original it was a famous eye clinic called "Moorfields Eye Hospital"), I turned to my wife and whispered "Well, wanna know how it's gonna end?" All through the show I kept leaning over to her and telling her exactly what was going to happen next, and I was right on target each time! All the way up to the girl's father who gets killed by the monsters, and the barricaded English manor, which in the original was a coastal light-house.
